Win2k isnt fat32 by default - its ntfs. If it IS fat32, then it is simple..

mkdir /mnt/windows-drive
mount -t vfat /mnt/windows-drive /dev/hdXX

Where hdXX is the partition in question.

Might want to 'modprobe vfat' first, make sure the module is loaded.

Then 'mount /dev/hdxX /mnt/foldernameyouwanttomountto'

hda1 is the first partition on the primary master.

If the drive is NTFS, then 'modprobe ntfs' and do the same command.
